About

El Bogavante 346 opened in 2008 just after the Spanish cuisine boom in Japan Spanish. The style of cooking is purely Spanish, using Spanish techniques applied to some Japanese ingredients, and sometimes Spanish ingredients are combined with some Japanese ingredients in order to provide a local twist. The recipes come from cooking lessons the chef and owner received during his training in a culinary school in Barcelona, working experience in Spanish restaurants and dishes he tried when he travelled t o Spain.

“Amazing culinary experience. Excellent wine and the food exquisite. The tapas plates were delicious and our chicken and egg paella was just perfect. Our desserts Basque cheese and chocolate mouse also very tasty. My Pedro Ximenez also a nice example of Spanish fortified wine. Highly recommended. The hospitality from chefs and staff was exceptional and their tolerance of our language faux pas was very kind.”

“To be honest, we were not entirely convinced. The atmosphere was not very welcoming, and compared to our experience in Spain, the food did not fully meet our expectations, although it was not bad. Requiring customers to order a drink is a detail that speaks volumes about the establishment. As the saying goes, “Those who impose consumption lack hospitality.” In other words, it feels more focused on profit than on customer care.”

“We had a mixed experience. Two of us thought the food was very tasty, two not. All of us thought the portions were easy to small for the money you pay. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend.”
